Amelia Fletcher presented on ‘New Insights Into Competition Regulation and Consumer Protection’ (drawn on her work on consumer remedies), at the Centre for Competition and Regulatory Policy Roundtable.  This took place at City University, London on 26 October 2018.  Around 80 academics, policy makers and practitioners were in attendance.

The aim of the roundtable was to discuss lessons for consumer protection across sectors and across countries.  It also aimed to cover the connected and perhaps even more important lessons to be drawn from the competition enforcement and pro-competitive interventions undertaken in EU capital markets since at least the European Commission’s 2010 paper on responsibility and competitiveness in the European Financial Sector.
